With over 21 years of international retail experience with big brand names including Selfridges, and having travelled to all the major fashion capitals across continents, Kasunchana has translated her passion for colours, fabrics

and gemstones into the TRUNK fashion brand. TRUNK's third chain opened its doors on September 15 at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel, which thrills and excites Kasunchana.

"I am delighted to be located at the Cinnamon Grand with its cosmopolitan clientele and look forward to working with the hotel guests and passers by, to fulfill their fashion needs," she mused.

TRUNK's flagship brand is the world-renowned Amrapali jewellery.

Amrapali traces its origins to the year 1978, when two history students had a common vision: ushering in a renaissance in the ancient art of jewellery. The founders of Amprapali travelled extensively to the remotest interiors of India in search of unique and fine pieces of jewellery. Armed with exposure and expertise, Amrapali the brand was born, exposing the world to the aesthetic of Indian jewellery and in turn resurrecting the divine skills of the forgotten craftsmen and goldsmiths of rural Rajasthan.

With an ever growing demand for trendy and sophisticated clothing in Sri Lanka, TRUNK spreads its branches, not only providing keen shoppers with an unrivaled array of world class fashion but also encouraging local designers by housing exclusive capsule collections of some of the most promising home grown talent.
